The PS4 is currently RRP USD$299 - what is the RRP of the PS4 in the UK? That's likely what this will cost.
It's £250 online.

Great move for ms but it might hold them back graphically. On the other hand it works for pc, one will play the same game in 4k 60fps high settings with a 2k€ pc and another will be fine with 1080p 30fps on med/high for 500€ so we will see.I wish the Series s didnt exist, now they'll work to the lowest common denominator which is this console, vs the PS5. Lovely
But i get it, for business purposes and majority don't care about that. Just like how the most used GPU in a pc according to steam is a 970 or a 1060
But but that’s what everyone has been saying since the Sony reveal? Surely they can’t all be lying right??The consoles arent just gpu's though, it doesnt work like that lol.
A 4 TF shitbox ? Come on man .. it’s a box for casuals ..Next gen performance lol. It's a 4 tflops shitbox.
This would be like if they released a 400 gflops Xbox one.
Really puts the con in consoles.
Been saying what?, console pricing is only on TF counts and gpu's?, and nothing else?, ok thenBut but that’s what everyone has been saying since the Sony reveal? Surely they can’t all be lying right??
$499 is a pretty stunning price. I wonder if Sony even has the ability to subsidize the hardware to that extent without putting the future of their company in jeopardy. I'm guessing they have to match $499 on the digital (or maybe some kind of digital pack in equivalent) and the disc based system comes up at something like $699 because they know they have enough fanboys in their back pocket for their existing inventory.
Let’s go baby. Sony bout to go $299 and $399
How? You won’t sell great with COVID , if they priced that high, it’s not rocket science. The world / market and spendable income has changed greatly in the past 6 months .Damn its way cheaper than i was expecting and i was okay with a upto 699 price tag.... just wanna see more actual game footage but its a Day One buy, now with some snacks thrown in and a shiny new game with the money saved.

Because they opted to run hot . And include Ssd technology that’s more expensive. So there is a real change they need to sell more expensive or take a bigger loss.And why do you think the PS5 costs more to manufacture than Series X? Because reasons?

Keep in mind these machines are made and thought up before the restrictions of COVID.
True , but the layout of the Xbox is more traditional, so you can make a educated guess.And how do you know that all of that in totality works out as more than Xbox's larger APU or greater bandwidth RAM? You don't know.

How? well just look at the specs and previous prices on the older consoles... i never thought it would be $699 just i was ready for if it was, yes COVID is here and ppl are struggling or trying to be better/smarter with money.How?

Picture the same thing but at 1080p and 4K and you’ve probably got your answer.I really want to see S versus X gameplay now. Not getting the S, but I'm very curious to see just how big a gap we're talking about.

think they're roughly the same, although probably more expensive on the Sony side because of some of the components and Microsoft's far greater buying power. It also wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft uses those same components in their Azure platform (which is vastly more important than the console business).
Microsoft has one of the strongest balance sheets in the world. There is no imaginary pot of money, they can decide to increase or decrease their budget basically on a whim. They are simply in a different class as Sony, which has spent the past decade selling off assets in order to prop up their core businesses. Sony Corp. is a basket case, and there is a non-zero risk of them exiting the console business if they screw it up.
Now, personally I think the PS5 will be very successful and they'll be fine, but make no mistake about how these companies are almost on the opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to financial health.
edit: typos
You said Series S is DOA if Series X and PS5 are $499. I don't see how that makes sense. If anything Series S will b selling extremely well because of it's smaller price. The majority of gamers aren't hardcore gamers looking for the best graphics. Mom and pops are going to buy the $299 Series S over the $499 one.Yeah, maybe explain WHY you're confused so I can elaborate? I don't think I'm unclear.
Though maybe you just want to post a funny GIF, which is fine as well.
My prediction is $399 digital PS5 and $499 full PS5.
Sony can match Xbox's price and still feel like they can sell more.
Except really the only lingering question is whether or not Sony's machine somehow costs that much more than the XSX or if Microsoft is actually selling that thing at an enormous loss.

A 4 TF shitbox ? Come on man .. it’s a box for casuals ..
It’s not different from mid end telephones etc ..
500 is not going to sell very well, 300 for a box with a weaker gpu than a PS4 pro.
I don’t see the value in a next Gen machine weaker than last Gen?
They were busy making good games.Meanwhile Sony is too busy doing nothing while we have a tear down for XSX, price, launch date, and actual hands on impressions and UI
They were busy making good games.
It is a con job though. This isnt a situation like PS3 60gb vs 20gb storage and minor differences causing a pricing tier of console trims. No no, this is releasing a last gen refresh and advertising as "next gen".
1/3 the GPU power at 4 tflops vs 12, about half usable RAM 7.5 GB vs 13.5 as the Series X.
Why are gamers acting like this is a leap forward from the previous generation?
Actual gamers are worried as many developers will just code for lowest denominator, which will be Series S/Xbox one X.
This and gamepass is a big con job on us folks that consume video games
60fps both. Enjoy Craig and your CGI trailers.Spider man dlc story and Ratchet 30 fps?
but great warranty.Not to mentiom most early buyers got RRoD's for free.
